The table below provides employment figures for Office Clerks, General by State and Metropolitan Area. To view figures for metropolitan areas (i.e. cities) in any given state, click on the name of that state.

Employment of general office clerks is projected to grow 3 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. Overall job opportunities should be good, however, because of the need to replace workers who leave the occupation. Candidates who have a combination of work experience and knowledge of computer applications should have the best job prospects.
